I don't understand what you want to say by that. It will block all other
packets with the same MAC SA that are classified to the same FID.
In case of VLAN-aware bridges, the mv88e6xxx driver allocates a new FID
for each VID (see mv88e6xxx_atu_new). In other words, if a locked port
is VLAN-aware and has a pvid, then whatever the PVID may be, all ports
in that same VLAN are still blocked in the same way.

If by 0 you mean 1 (MV88E6XXX_FID_BRIDGED), then you are correct: ports
with FID 0 (MV88E6XXX_FID_STANDALONE) should not create locked FDB
entries, because they are, well, standalone and not bridged.
Again I don't exactly see the relevance though.
